Very interesting history on Arlington National Cemetary.  I’ve never been but hope to visit some day.

Me too.  I was able to visit DC a couple years ago, but ran out of time to see the ANC.

I visited back in January 1997 right after Clinton's second inauguration.  It was unbelievably cold that day.  My wife and I were standing at the gates as they opened at 8am and were two of about five people to watch the changing of the guard that day.  I had never had interest in serving in the military until that day.  An awesome but sobering experience that made me wish I had served in some way.
